Introduction to Digital Narratology Narratology is the study of the structure of narrative and how in turn that structure affects our cultural expectations of the world around us. The study has in fact developed into narratologies, as debates within the d ...

Introduction: Digital Publishing Digital Publishing is perhaps at its most interesting because it is very much in a state of flux and innovation. With more individuals, both in scholarship and private sectors, invested in digital publishing, its possibili ...

Communities, Learning, and More on Zombies Running is an often-tedious task that must be done daily in order to accomplish marginal increases in speed and distance. For many, the act of starting running is in not as challenging as continuing running. The ...

Introduction: Gamification While the concept of making tasks more fun and game-like is by no means new, the term gamification appeared at the end of the 2000s as a way to describe the use of some gaming mechanics into non-game contexts like the business w ...

Your post reminds me of several things. One is Luca Barra's observations that fan produced translations can happen after a professional translation as stripped too much culture from the original. He looks at Italian translations of Lost, but I can se ...
